Israeli company HIPER Global played a key role in helping Nvidia launch its Israel-1 AI supercomputer ahead of schedule last week. HIPER designed and delivered proprietary, application-specific computing solutions for Nvidia, executing a compute cluster implementation contract that encompasses the provision of server infrastructure, plus test and server-level integration services.
Based in Israel, the hyperscale AI supercomputer leverages Dell Technologies PowerEdge XE9680 servers with the NVIDIA HGX H100 GPU platform and the new NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform. This high-performance Ethernet architecture is specifically designed for generative AI workloads, facilitating the transition to AI and accelerated computing in data centers.
“The deployment of Israel-1 is a significant step forward in the field of artificial intelligence,” said HIPER Global Enterprise CEO, Etay Aharon. “Our collaboration with Nvidia in this powerful initiative marks a significant achievement. HIPER Global’s deep expertise in hardware integration and assembly and our commitment to quality and performance played an essential role in the success of Israel-1. We are very proud to be part of it.”
“As one of the world’s fastest AI supercomputers, Israel-1 is poised to drive breakthroughs in research and science in Israel and globally,” said Gilad Shainer, senior vice president of networking at Nvidia. “Working with HIPER Global’s technical, operational and manufacturing teams, we were able to complete the first phase of development of this powerful system two months ahead of schedule.”
